Learner and Beginner

  • DreamWorldWide Sarf Textbook – One of the best resources for learning sarf and irregular sarf. This website has a number of other useful resources for learners.
  • https://learnarabicdaily.com/ Ustadh Faraz is a top-notch teacher and a friend of mine whom I recommend. He studied at Qasid and wrote their textbook. One advantage to his program is it doesn’t fall off like many others–it goes all the way through advanced Arabic. As of writing it has four modules on four levels of Arabic. The level three module is something I recommend starting at after completing about a year of Arabic studies. It’s a great program to continue with after QuranCoach, or to start with from the beginning.
